A few years ago I was migrating a bunch of Fox data to MSSQL. I was using a spare PC running MSDE (the previous incarnation of SQL Express) to develop the conversion routines but my data hit the 2 Gb limit. So I installed Win2K Server & full SQL 2000 on the same box. The same data scripts run a hell of a lot faster, *and the resulting data was less than 2GB*. Funny that. -- Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
